Behavioral Health Services

For children and youth with special health care needs, behavioral health services can be critical to their progress and their ability to reach
goals.

At The Children’s Institute, we strive to offer psychiatry, psychology and neuropsychology that are both excellent and designed to put
kids at ease. We offer outpatient behavioral health services,
and we have a new, state-of-the-art inpatient Behavioral Health Unit, serving children ages 4-17 with urgent behavioral health needs who also have pre-existing complex medical condition and/or developmental disability.

Led by child psychiatrist Dr. Aileen Oandasan and with an emphasis on caring for the whole patient, our behavioral health services combine traditional and holistic approaches
to medicine to treat a wide range of behavioral health needs. We use these approaches in conjunction with one another to get the
best possible outcomes for our patients.
